I hadn't thought of it before, but...Dear Karen,<br />I hadn't thought of it before, but you are right! Cats are true yoga masters even at the advanced age of 17. I agree that animals bring about so many amazing truths. The older I get the more I realize that animals are just like people. I used to think that I was just anthropomorphizing animals, but I am beginning to think it is more than that. Each cat I have had during my life has had an entirely different personality - just like us. They think, they worry, they love,they show fear, they get angry, they play, they have friends . . . We have a lot to learn from them. I love your story about Mr. Toad. Each day that he returns to your porch is one of those small moments to savor. Thank you for sharing it with me. I can just see him . . . :)<br /><br />Love and hugs to you,<br />Carole LeighCarole Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03582166265858848647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7461139104474725203.post-83034767935029564242012-07-13T21:23:50.734-07:002012-07-13T21:23:50.734-07:00dear carole,
your darling aislinn - what a sweeth...dear carole,<br /><br />your darling aislinn - what a sweetheart! her pose is so peaceful, though in human terms, would only result in years of advanced yoga. but maybe she is reminding us to find our own peaceful poses - in mind, body and spirit, with our eyes wide open. animals bring about so many amazing truths and show us glimpses of life that really are so inspirational. we have a huge, fat, beautiful toad - appears on our porch most every day in the summer. he lets me pet him softly with one finger and i always look forward to seeing him when we come home. from day one, our dog, sadie, has always approached mr. toad so gently, then leans over and give him one lick (kiss), as though she wishes him well and is glad to see him, too. could it be that mr. toad keeps coming back for just these little shows of affection? i hope so! love and hugs, karen sutherlandAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7461139104474725203.post-33330026597706916622012-07-13T13:26:48.683-07:002012-07-13T13:26:48.683-07:00Thank you!
